Oily skin gets harder to treat during hot and wet days, so it is only natural to feel a bit confused as to what to apply to it. Here's how to cater to your oily skin needs.
If you have oily skin, you know that during summer it is difficult to keep it under control, your makeup seems to melt, your skin becomes sticky and dewy, but not in the right way. Here's what to do about it.
Skincare tips on how to treat oily skin in summer
Clay is your new best friend
Use a clay facial cleanser to help mattify your skin. Just mix a little bit of cleansing clay in your hands with water and massage it onto your face in circular motions, you can do it once a day.
Change your moisturizer
Go for a gel or lightweight moisturizer that targets oily skin and resist the temptation to skip applying moisturizer. There are several formulas that are hydrating but not greasy at the same time.
Avoid foundation
Instead of applying foundation, switch to a tinted moisturizer – it will offer a natural coverage that won't clog your pores.
Use a setting spray
Se4tting sprays are great at helping control oily skin but they crease less than setting powders. Just choose a mattifying formula.
Use blotting sheets
Press a blotting sheet onto your complexion to soak up all the excess oil that builds throughout the day.
